A few cabooses (cabeese?) with their attached "dust monkeys" which I have on all of them.

Cabeese. Definitely cabeese.
Cabeese are much better'n FREDS, too, although it might be my age talking.

Cabeese. Definitely cabeese.

Nope just caboose. Caboose is etymologically like moose rather than being like goose. I really wanted it to be cabeese, but my research could not substantiate that position.

Spotted idling on a spur in Newport, MN a couple years ago.

idling on a spur

We called those early BNSF trains like that, skittle bowls. Kind of embarrassing actually.
When the railroad built along the lake, there are two spots where the track is on fill, about three miles long apiece. Hiway 97, a very busy road, parallels the tracks, which is owned by the UP.
Heading up the lake, stretched out across one of these fills is a 5 motor UP freight, all one color, flags flying.
Next train stretched out across the fill, a BNSF skittle bowl, nice!

I had a cut of over sized box cars running.

I’ve seen this one in St. Louis Missouri and #668 #663

Here's a Santa Fe B39-8 I kitbashed a few years ago. It was one of three former GE demonstrators Santa Fe had on the roster:

And here's an Atlas B40-8 I did a little work on to be its companion on intermodal trains. I had just installed some fiber optic LED lights in the nose when I took this photo:

Apologies these aren't the best pictures, I wasn't there at a good time of day for photography regarding the sun. But here's ATSF 3759, a 4-8-4 "Heavy Northern" built by Baldwin in 1928. It pulled the last revenue steam run over Cajon Pass in 1955 before being donated to the city of Kingman, Arizona in 1957, where it resides today. Yes, this picture was taken in October.

Caboose 999520 also resides there.

A little late this week, but here they are. Grain hoppers at various grain elevators.

Found a mate for the BNSF 25th anniversary engine.

A BN sw1000, BNSF gp40-2, Santa Fe intermodal container, BNSF container, (both custom) BN boxcar, and a BNSF caboose. I hope this counts since it’s related to ATSF

Eastbound hoppers over a plate-girder bridge in Kingman Canyon, still bearing ATSF markings.

Just a few miles away at Kingman Station, there are also reminders of its provenance.

My contribution this week. A Pullman Standard 2983 cu ft covered hopper used to haul sugar. It's an Athearn RTR. A few background covered hoppers are also in the picture. The one on the left is an Accurail model of an AFC 4600 cu ft hopper. The one on the right is a P2K model of a Pullman Standard 4427 cu ft hopper.

Old boxcar used for maintenance storage. This is probably an Athearn Blue Box.

Another Pullman Standard covered hopper. This one is a 4427 cu ft from P2K.

Picking nits. Those are E6 A+B. They have slope nose rather than blunt nose. Santa Fe designation would be 13L+13A.

 

[hunslet040]

Picking nits. That is an E6

I realised that late last night while looking through my loco database - found that my photo caption was wrong !
Now corrected thanks.

Here’s my zebras.

Three Proto (the GPs), and two Atlas (RS-3, S-2), and Bachman FM H16-44?

 

[Bigboy57]

The 3rd GP is an old Athearn dummy and the Rs3 is a Bachmann ez-app. I haven’t converted the FM or the P2k S1 to dcc yet but these are my next projects.
